Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 189
She had a mouth and staring eyes, like ours, and a great balloon at the back of her head, and something like a shut-up umbrella in front; there were a lot of dangling bits of seaweed hanging about her.
그녀는 우리처럼 입과 부릅뜬 눈이 있었고, 머리 뒤쪽에는 커다란 풍선 같은 것이 있었으며, 앞쪽에는 접힌 우산 같은 것이 있었습니다. 그녀의 주변에는 해초 조각들이 많이 매달려 있었습니다.
She ought to take all the rubbish off, and go as we do; then she would look something like a respectable barbel, so far as it is possible for a person to look like one!"
그녀는 그 쓰레기 같은 것들을 다 벗어버리고 우리처럼 다녀야 합니다. 그러면 사람이 그렇게 보일 수 있는 한에서, 어느 정도 점잖은 수염치처럼 보일 텐데요!"
"What's become of that one whom they drew away with the hook? He sat on a wheel-chair, and had paper, and pen, and ink, and wrote down everything. They called him a 'writer.'"
"낚싯바늘로 끌려간 그 사람은 어떻게 됐나요? 그는 휠체어에 앉아 종이와 펜과 잉크를 가지고 모든 것을 적었지요. 사람들은 그를 '작가'라고 불렀습니다."
"They're going about with him still," said a hoary old maid of a Carp, who carried her misfortune about with her, so that she was quite hoarse.
"그 사람은 아직도 돌아다니고 있어요," 라고 백발이 성성한 노처녀 잉어가 말했습니다. 그녀는 자신의 불행을 늘 안고 다녔기 때문에 목이 완전히 쉬어 있었습니다.
In her youth she had once swallowed a hook, and still swam patiently about with it in her gullet.
젊었을 때 그녀는 한번은 낚싯바늘을 삼켰고, 아직도 그것을 목구멍에 넣은 채 참을성 있게 헤엄쳐 다니고 있었습니다.
"A writer? That means, as we fishes describe it, a kind of cuttle or ink-fish among men."
"작가라고요? 그것은 우리 물고기들의 표현으로 말하자면, 인간들 사이의 갑오징어 혹은 먹물 물고기 같은 존재를 뜻하지요."
Thus the fishes gossipped in their own way; but in the artificial water-grotto the laborers were busy; who were obliged to take advantage of the hours of night to get their work done by daybreak.
이처럼 물고기들은 자기들만의 방식으로 수다를 떨었습니다. 하지만 인공 물 동굴에서는 일꾼들이 바쁘게 일하고 있었는데, 그들은 동틀 녘까지 일을 끝마치기 위해 밤 시간을 이용해야만 했습니다.
They accompanied with blows of their hammers and with songs the parting words of the vanishing Dryad.
그들은 망치 소리와 노래로 사라져 가는 드리아드의 이별 말을 배웅했습니다.
"So, at any rate, I have seen you, you pretty gold-fishes," she said. "
"어쨌든, 나는 너희들을 보았어, 너희 예쁜 금붕어들아," 그녀가 말했습니다. "
